    You could hardwire them both and run them one at a time. I believe it was MEM-TEK who does this. Ask him to see his setup. But do not run them together simultaneously.

    I haven't seen any REAL prof that running 2 together messes with each other.

    Run them together then. There has been thread after thread on this subject. But in all regards, go for it. :roll: Just make sure you do not speed.

    Just keep in mind that if they don't set each outer off it may be suppressing an alert. I ran my 8500 & 9500I together once and found no falsing from each other, but i did see a decrease in detection range even though it was minor.

    Running two RDs together, unless one is an STi, will definitely affect both RDs. The problem is that, even though both RDs might seem to respond just fine for X band, K band, or even one of the three main Ka band frequencies, the local oscillator emissions from one RD might trip up the filtering within the other RD such that it either alerts late or completely misses alerting to one of the other Ka band frequencies. Another thing which I have observed is that a nearby RD can "kick" another RD into producing an alert earlier than it would have if the other RD wasn't in operation nearby. I have also observed a nearby RD causing another RD to alert later than it would have compared to when no other RD is operating nearby.

    Jimbonzzz explained in details what happens if you are using 2 RDs at the same time.
